The database is designed to be used in conjunction with the
microfiche Marriages Indexes published by the New Zealand
Registrar-General's Office, allowing the user to match up
brides with grooms (primarily using the Bride 1 and Groom 2 fields, respectively)
with their folio numbers. The database is therefore an index
that does not identify individuals (after 1863) but points to
the correct page entry where the partner of a groom or bride can be found.
Between 1840 and 1862 it is possible to search by surname or forename, and, at any date, for Maori marriages.
From 1863 to 1956 (for non-Maori marriages) the index does not identify individuals but points to the correct page entry on the microfiche where a groom or bride's partner can be found.
This database is hosted by the University of Otago Library.
The total number of current records is 820384.
